In the staging lanes, check the nitrous bottle pressure.
Open the nitrous bottle and arm the datalog before cleaning the tires.
Purge and arm the nitrous system before staging.
End of run, close the nitrous bottle valve and disarm the nitrous system.
Turn off the datalog after returning to the pits.
